1 Letopisu 12:19

Nadto i z pokolení Manassesova odstoupili k Davidovi, když táhl s Filistinskými k boji proti Saulovi, ale nepomáhali jim. Nebo uradivše se, propustili ho zase knížata Filistinská, řkouce: S nebezpečenstvím hrdel našich odstoupil by ku pánu svému Saulovi.

And there fell some of Manasseh to David, when he came with the Philistines against Saul to battle: but they helped them not: for the lords of the Philistines upon advisement sent him away, saying, He will fall to his master Saul to the jeopardy of our heads.
